Getting: FAILED: Run Program Complete on a Project that worked on Earlier Versions

[KyleRansford]

I've installed GMS2 2.3.0 on another PC and on a project that does work in the previous version on GMS2, I keep getting the "FAILED: Run Program Complete" message. I look through the log and don't see anything that looks like an error message relating to code, but I see this long line that I don't know what it means.

Has anyone else seen this?

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Unable to find the specified file.

Hi there! I had the same issue when trying to run/export the game for yyc. Are you on Windows 7? Check this page out https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005904868
I am using Windows 7 with GMS 2.3.x and I had to reinstall Visual Studio Code 2015. Note that you also need to install the visual C++ tools. (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...s-vcvarsallbat-file?forum=visualstudiogeneral)

I had the same issue when my visual studio path is not configured correctly. This would have been caught by the IDE, but I was running the compiler directly from the command line.
